I keep getting a message when I start up my laptop about a 'status msi' that it is trying to load, and it is stuck in a circle; it says I don't have the software, but it keeps trying to do the installation. I have to click on 'cancel' heaps of times before I can make it stop it. This is maddening! The computer tried to install whatever-it-is automatically, now it can't stop trying. How can I stop it?

Hi,

Typically, people will get tan error similar to this one after installing a new program to their machine. While this may not be the case for you, I still ask if you have recently installed any kind of program before this started happening. Another option is to go into the msconfig and determine if the program is listed in the Startup section.

Click Start and in the Search box type msconfig. Click on the Startup tab and look through the list to see if something named status.msi is checked to the left. If it is there and is checked, uncheck the box and restart to see if you get the error again. If that is what was causing the error it should no longer appear at startup.

Alternatively, you can go here to this Microsoft fix. Just follow the instructions in the article to download and run the utility >>>>

How do I return my msi wind u180 to factory settings

Use the recovery partition on your MSI laptop to recover its original factory settings. Recovering your MSI laptop to its original factory settings will resolve problems with instability that you may be experiencing as a result of missing system files that were accidentally deleted. Recovering your MSI laptop to its original factory settings will also completely remove any viruses on your computer's hard drive that you were unable to remove with anti-virus software. Fortunately, you can wipe all of the information off your laptop's hard drive and start with a clean slate.


Instructions
  • 1
Turn on or restart your laptop. Press "F3" repeatedly when the MSI logo appears on the screen during the boot process to be redirected to the "Windows Boot Manager."
  • 2
Highlight "Windows Setup [EMS Enabled]" using the arrow keys on the keyboard. Press "Enter" to access the recovery partition on the hard drive of the MSI laptop. The "System Recovery Option" dialog box will appear on the screen. Click "MSI Recovery Manager." Click "OK" when a message appears on the screen notifying you that your computer will be restored to its original factory settings.
  • 3
Click "OK" when a message appears notifying you that the hard drive will be formatted to begin the recovery process. A dialog box with a status bar will appear to indicate how much time is left in the recovery process. Depending on the size of your hard drive as well as how much personal data needs to be erased, the recovery process could take up to 45 minutes.
  • 4
Click "OK" when a dialog box appears on the screen indicating that the recovery process is complete. Your laptop will automatically restart and boot up to the Windows setup screen, where you can begin personalizing the settings for your Windows operating system.

The screen just keeps saying that windows didnt start succesfully and it gives me 5 options to start none of which works please help??

Welcome to Fixya!!!
If all the the options in the Advance option wont work. 1.Removed your battery, ac adapter and drain you power button for 5 to 10 seconds. 2. Used only ac adapter and turn on the laptop keep on tapping f8 3. Tried any option again. first choice would be last known good configuration. then try safemode 4.If you are successful in going to safemode, try to do system restore. If it fails to load all oftions, and you dont have any important files -Try to reboot pc and hit f3 to reset the computer to factory setting. it will open a prompt to do a complete restore. If f3 does not work- the recovery partition is already corrupted. -You need to call MSI tech support to get a recovery disc from MSI -You need to resinstall the Operating System.

Super mario Galaxy Trying to start on the first level and mario just keeps running about at the circle. I dont have much control and cant get him to go up the hill. As soon as you get to the bottom of...

Normally the reason this happens is because while the game is loading, the joystick on the remote/nunchuck is not straight (someone is playing with it) causing it to run in circles when it's left in the open position. Simply reset your system and avoid holding the joystick in any direction while it's loading.

Good luck!

Respectfully,

I can't start my computer. Message "start your computer in safe mode"appears on the screen and than screen goes black and after few seconds the previous message appears on the screen.It's like a vicious...

Assuming Win-XP? ... When the computer is booting up (before windoes graphics) keep on tapping the F8 key to boot into safe mode. You should then be able to identify what is stopping Windows from booting properly.

- Have you just installed any software / drivers?
- Check the error logs and device manager to see if anything is wrong

Good Luck
